Depends where in the world you live. If you are in Europe Sony will not allow you to fix it yourself. It must be returned to their service centre in France! If you want to try and do it yourself try www.impactcomputers.com which will ship outside the US if you ask them nicely. They are the laptop equivelent of a car breakers yard.

Go to Sony's website. There you should be able to search all of the specs and issues of your specific laptop by typing your model number inside the search box on Sony site. There should also be an option to show you how to purchase accessories for your computer. If your computer is still under warranty, contact Sony, and request for them to fix it at no cost. Sony site also has an option to chat online with customer support/tech support. Sony is very good about helping their customers.

That lever is part of a hinge assembly - if the hinge has broke (and from your question it seems that it is) you have to literally de-case your laptop to remove the hinge assembly in order to replace it.

You can get replacement parts for this laptop, however it can get expensive. At the end of the day, you can use a super glue that is safe to use around electrical parts, but you might be better off just using an external monitor if you don't need to carry your laptop around.

From my experience working with Gateway repairs in a service center, average price on hinge kits are usually around the $125USD mark, if you do it yourself. Of course if you were to bring the unit to an authorized service center to have a technician repair it then there is labour charges on top of that (which will be variable from shop to shop). A better resource to look at directly though would be here, you can probably get some cheaper prices on parts for this model of notebook.
